Although Van Gaal's golden age is gone, and Ajax is crumbling under the impact of the Bosman Act, Michael? Van Praag has ambitions to overhaul the club and lead Ajax to a new revival.

For this chairman of Ajax, who is equally respected and important in Dutch football and European football, and is one of the founders of the giant G14, Ye Qiu is also full of respect in his heart, at least he is fair.

"I would like to ask you, Mr. President, what was the purpose of hiring us into the Ajax Academy two months ago?"

Van Praag didn't feel uncomfortable with Ye Qiu's roll call, and he wasn't a person who liked to put on a show, so Leo? Ben Hack was able to call him Michael, and he was a friend, and when he heard it, he smiled slightly, "Of course it is to reform!" ”

"Yes, then I would like to ask you, Mr. President, what is reform?" Ye Qiu didn't wait for Van Praag to think deeply and continued to ask.

Van Praag couldn't answer this time, because it was said that it was to be reformed, but in fact, how to change, no one had a routine, and it could even be said that the reform of the football world was basically without rules and routines, and they were all promoted by the will of a certain aspect, or the head coach, or the technical director, etc.

"Ajax has been a youth academy for decades, but I would like to ask Mr. President, why did the Ajax academy players from Cruyff to Rijkaard to Van Basten, to Bergkamp, and later Kluivert and others have never been able to break through, or even achieve the achievements of their predecessors?"

This is actually a common doubt of many Ajax people, that is, Michels and Cruyff, who laid the foundation of Ajax's youth system, helped Ajax reach the peak of history, but after that, Ajax's youth training was getting worse?

"Leo just now? I very much agree with Mr. Ben Haake's words, he is very right, Ajax's youth training is so good, there must be something reasonable and advanced about him, but over the years, we have cultivated a generation of players who are not as good as the generation, so can it also be said that there are also unreasonable things in our youth system? ”

Ye Qiu's words were very organized, pushing forward step by step, and no one present could give a rebuttal, but many people listened to it, and they couldn't help nodding their heads again and again, this is actually not a secret, Van Praag said that he wanted to reform, in fact, because he saw this.

It's just that Michel and Cruyff have a sacred status in Ajax and Dutch football, and no one can shake it or say it, but it can't stop them from thinking so.

That is, their set can no longer keep up with the pace of the times!

"What the hell are you trying to say?" Van Praag looked at the young Chinese in front of him, he looked good-skinned, he had the handsome spirit of an Oriental, but his speech was sonorous, not lacking backbone, and he was indeed a young man who was easy to give people a good impression.

"What I want to say is that reform is an attempt, it is a risk, that is, to get rid of the things in the club system that are not good and cannot keep up with the times, retain the tradition of the club system, as well as the advanced youth training concepts and elements, and combine the two to ensure the improvement and progress of the Ajax system!"

"As for how to reform, I have discussed with the head coach Mr. Waters, and we all feel that it is impossible to carry out earth-shaking reforms all at once, so we must first try it locally, as a pilot, if it succeeds, and then generalize, if it fails, the loss is not big, and it can be recovered!"

When Waters heard this, he was stunned at first, when did he discuss it with this Ye Qiu?

But after thinking about it again, Van Praag was hit by Ye Qiu's heart, and his tone was obviously softened at this time, and he had already been tied to Ye Qiu in the same boat, so he naturally wanted to build momentum for him at this time.

"Yes, Michael, Ye Qiu is from the Cologne Sports Institute, he has a very unique football insight, some of his youth training ideas, I think we should pay attention to it, which is why I invited him to Ajax in the first place!"

It turns out that the things that take credit for are all people and are born.

Van Praag nodded, which immediately made Westerhoff cry out in his heart.

"What do you think about the reform of the youth system?" Sure enough, Van Praag asked.

Ye Qiu took advantage of the nodding and thought for a while, "I think there are a lot of problems, first of all, our youth training pays too much attention to the inculcation of formation and tactics, and ignores the creation of technical skills. ”

When Westerhoff heard this, he immediately sneered, "You mean to say that our youth training is fundamentally wrong?" If you say that, how did Cruyff, Van Basten and Bergkamp and others come to be? If we only practice the arts, then how can our Ajax system be in the same vein? ”

Ye Qiu didn't care, now that the initiative was in his hands, he didn't need to be angry at Westerhoff's questioning, which would weaken his position in the minds of other neutrals, so he smiled and nodded.

"You're half right, in the past, when the tactical formation was loose and the division of labor on the pitch was relatively simple, we at Ajax had the best results with our disciplined football as a whole, and you don't forget the success of Michels and Cruyff, who had the likes of Cruyff, Rijkaard and Van Basten in their squad."

"Even in the time of Louis van Gaal, when we had a group of top stars such as Kluivert, Overmars and Litmanen, we could even say that with such a group of players, no matter what tactics you use, as long as you can put the players together and play to the strengths of the players, we can win!"

"But," Ye Qiu emphatically emphasized, "that's based on the player's personal strength!" ”

Ye Qiu's words shocked many people present, because they had thought about the deterioration of youth training, but they rarely thought about it from this direction, after all, their perspective could not be like Ye Qiu's, but he had more than ten years of knowledge and vision than everyone present, and naturally looked at the problem more deeply.

"So what I mean is that we should not only pay attention to the cultivation of individual skills, but also maintain the unity of the Ajax system, we should appropriately strengthen the basic skills and skills training of young players, and strengthen the technical training of each youth age group, as for the tactical level, we can start instilling from around 14 or 15 years old, and then start from the A age group and the Ajax second team."

This is what countless youth training systems have been doing later, Ye Qiu has seen some on the Internet in his previous life, and combined with some of the situations he has learned so far, he has said a general framework and prototype.

But even if it is just a prototype, it is enough for many people present to see a clear idea.

An exception, of course, for people with ulterior motives.

"You say it simply, if you really do what you say, then De Tokmoste is bound to turn the world upside down, and success is easy to say, but what if it fails? You pat your ass and leave, but the bitter fruit has to be borne by the club and the fans! Westerhoff continued to sneer, this time he couldn't hit Ye Qiu professionally, so he made a fuss about the unpredictable future.

Ye Qiu laughed even more when he heard this, "Mr. Westerhoff, what you said is indeed Mr. Waters' worries, I discussed this with him, and he also said that he is responsible for Ajax fans, management and players, so he thinks that there should be no large-scale promotion for the time being, but he also feels that if he can't keep pace with the times, Ajax will be eliminated by the European mainstream sooner or later, so his advice to me is to use the E1 team led by me as a pilot to try the effect." ”

Waters was a little broken at this time, when did he say these words himself?

But it was obvious that admitting Ye Qiu's words would only be good for him, not harmful, and he would be able to get a title that was righteous and awe-inspiring for the sake of the club, so he nodded and admitted, "Yes, Michael, I'm interested in his idea, but I'm also worried, so I think I'll try it first." ”

As soon as these words came out, Ye Qiu's previous actions had legitimacy!

Van Praag also kept nodding, "You handled this matter very well, focusing on the club, very good!" ”

When Waters listened, he couldn't have said how happy he was.

"Mr. President, although Mr. Waters is the head coach of the first team, he came out of De Tokmost, and he is very concerned about the progress of the academy, so we have negotiated before, first take the E1 team as a pilot, see the effect, if appropriate, and then slowly and gradually promote and explore, so as to make progress step by step!"

"Good step-by-step, well said!" Van Praag praised.

The reformers in these years are all eager for revolution but also afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice, Ye Qiu's step-by-step approach is exactly what suits their taste, so blind people can see that Van Praag has now fully supported Ye Qiu and has become a reformer.

"It is said that it is invincible in the world, but what can it do? The result? Vesthoff saw that it was not possible to suppress Ye Qiu, and secretly prepared to lay another mine for Ye Qiu, and it was best to limit his attempts for a time.

As soon as Westerhoff's words came out, everyone immediately looked at Ye Qiu again.

"I think it's hard to comment on this, or let's just let Ye Qiu and Hans choose two teams of equal strength in the academy, and the two of them will be responsible for leading and training respectively, training for two months each, and then play a few games to see who has a better effect, what do you think?"

Leo, who hasn't spoken? Ben Hack followed up on Westerhoff's words and said.

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was in an uproar, and they all felt that this was too unfair to Ye Qiu.

You must know that Westerhoff is also the number one figure in the Netherlands, and he, a fledgling boy, wants to challenge him, isn't this a tiger's mouth?

But what are the words from Leo? Ben Hack's mouth came out, and everyone felt or didn't dare to refute it, including Waters.

"Boy, I'm afraid you don't have the guts!" Westerhoff also had a gloomy face and sneered, "But it's just like this, it's not interesting, we have to make some bets, whoever loses, get out of Ajax, how about it?" ”

This time, the audience was in an uproar again.

"Eh, Hans, healthy competition between colleagues, don't bet so much!" Van Praag stopped him, he was now interested in this Ye Qiu, who spoke the truth, because many of Ye Qiu's remarks made the originally chaotic thoughts in his mind suddenly become clear, and many things became clear.

"Don't dare?" Westerhoff sneered, he clearly wanted to overwhelm Ye Qiu with momentum.

Ye Qiu also laughed, and said arrogantly: "Okay, bet on it, let's limit it to two months, whoever loses will take the initiative to resign!" ”

"Good!" Westerhoff also agreed.

Both agreed, and even the club's president, Van Praag, had no way to stop it, so he had to acquiesce.

This youth meeting ended in this bet.

Westerhoff with Leo? Ben Hack left, Van Praag also said a few words to Ye Qiu and left, leaving Waters.

"You are really careless, although I don't like Hans, but I also have to admit that you are much inferior to him in terms of training players, you bet with him, and there is more than luck!" Waters was grateful to Ye Qiu for winning the limelight for him just now, but he was worried about his future.

"Don't worry, I'll never fight a battle that I'm not sure of, and besides, I'll bring all the energy of Westerhoff over now, and it's convenient for you to receive Detokmost!" Ye Qiu said with a smile.

Waters was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood, he misunderstood that Ye Qiu deliberately bet with Westerhoff in order to help him receive Detokhof, and he was very grateful, "Don't worry, you help me, I will remember, when you lose, I will also help you speak in front of Michael, you don't have to worry about leaving the team!" ”

"Big deal, I'll let you be an assistant coach in the first team!"

Ye Qiu smiled after hearing this, and forget it, in his memory, Waters didn't seem to have finished this season, this guy is still too young, too obsessed with power struggle, which will cause him to be distracted in the management of the first team, and now Ajax's player strength does not have any advantage even among the traditional strong teams in the Netherlands.

Sometimes, a lot of things are predestined!

Although Ye Qiu persuaded Waters to focus on the results of the first team, Waters didn't seem to care very much, the league started with three consecutive wins, and two big wins, which made him a little fluttery, which is definitely a big taboo for a head coach.

But he couldn't listen to Ye Qiu's words, and Ye Qiu had no choice but to go with him.

The most important thing now is to make some achievements first, so that even if he does leave Ajax in the future, he will have the ability to establish himself in other clubs in Europe and live on this ability.

Seeing off Waters, Ye Qiu returned to the coach's dormitory in the youth team training building.

It is said that it is a dormitory, but it is actually a rest room, because Detokmoste does not have a dormitory, and the coach and players have to live outside, so some rest rooms are arranged so that the coach and some players who live far away can rest in the training camp at noon.

Ye Qiu has a room dedicated to himself, and as soon as he walks in, he locks it, goes to bed, and closes his eyes.

In his head, his mind moved, and a message immediately popped up.

The godfather development system is being activated, please wait......

While waiting, Ye Qiu was very happy in his heart.

Now the whole world feels that he is bound to defeat compared to Vesthoff, but he has very strong self-confidence, because he has the system brought by this time-travel, although he only activated the trial level of this system, it is enough to kill Vesthoff.

Because the previous system has explained that training players according to the training method it recommends, the fastest one month, the slowest two months can see the results, and he is now waiting to see how Westerhoff rolls out of Detokmost.
